Girard-Perregaux enters the 2013 with their new redesigned version of its Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk “professional” diving watch.

Rated for a pretty much impressive water resistance of whole 1000 meters, the refreshed Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk 1000M watch gives you probably the best possible combination of reliability, build quality and design.

If you compare the new model to the 2011 Sea Hawk Pro, you will notice that, while preserving the same easily recognizable shape with the same signature crown guard, the watch now comes in a much more aggressive stainless steel body that replaces the previous flowing lines with sharp angles.

The dial of the piece has also undergone certain changes starting from a new mesh grille-styled pattern and finishing the picture with new, more original small second and power reserve indicators at 10 and 6 hours respectively.

The date aperture, which is still placed between 1 and 2 o’clock, looks a little bit larger making the rudimentary calendar even more legible.

The previous model featured a completely flat dial, this one comes with a concave face, which is nicely accented with raised hour markers of different shapes.

The luminous hour and minute hands remain the same, which is good.

According to official specs, the new Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk 1000M is powered by the same Caliber GP3300 automatic movement, which is still hidden behind a solid case-back cover that depicts a sea monster entwining a stylized anchorwith a trident at its other end.
